Growth
Development
Creativity

EGO PSYCHOLOGY
Major player: Heinz Kohut (1913-1981)
Other players: Mahler
Emphasis on narcissism
Believes love for self precedes love for others
![Page 8: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EGO PSYCHOLOGY
Key Players:
Anna Freud
Heinz Hartmann
Erik Erikson (most well-known for this theory)
![Page 9: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Goals of Psychotherapy in Ego Psychology
Seeing the world as it is, without too much distortion from inner distress and transference.Ego psychologists try to help clients interpret other’s statements and actions without utilizing a defense mechanismAttempt to build ego strength, the capacity of the ego to pursue its healthy goals in spite of threat and stress.

Object Relations-Attachment Theory
Objects are mental representations of other people and relationships with others.It is a stage theory that focuses on the process of becoming an independent individual and seeing people as stable, complex, and real.Responsiveness of the mother is critical.Throughout therapy, the client renounces judgment of others and self, realizing that variation can exist within one person.

Goals of Object Relations Psychotherapy
To revise impaired object representationsTo free up the ego to pursue its healthy functions.Shares with other psychodynamic approaches the mission of enhancing ego strength.

Freud’s Drive Theory
Freud believed that all human behavior is driven by innate instincts, or drives.Drives can either be self-preservative (breathing, eating, etc.) or species-preservative (sexuality).Libido: the psychic energy that emanates from sexual drives; always seeks pleasure
![Page 13: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Structure of Personality; 3 Systems
Id: The primary source of psychic energy and the seat of instincts; Largely unconscious; Ruled by the pleasure principle
Ego: the “Executive” that governs, controls, and regulates personality. Ruled by the reality principle.
Superego: Represents the “ideal”, not the real. Morals, right/wrong, conscience
![Page 14: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Levels of ConsciousnessConscious: includes sensations and experiences that you are aware of.
Preconscious: memories that are easily remembered
Unconscious: memories that are “forgotten”
![Page 15: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Evidence Supporting the UnconsciousDreams: Symbolic representations of unconscious needs, wishes and conflicts
Slips of the Tongue & Forgetting
Posthypnotic Suggestions
Material Derived from:Free-Association
Projective Techniques
Symbolic Content of Psychotic Symptoms
![Page 16: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Another essential concept…..
ANXIETY
A state of tension that motivates action
Result of conflict between id, ego, & superego
3 kinds: reality (fear of danger); neurotic (fear that instincts will cause you to do something for which you are punished); moral (fear of one’s own conscience)
![Page 17: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Freud & EriksonDrive Ego
Oral Stage: Dependency on mother for gratification--involves lips, mouth, & throat
Anal Stage: Anal zone becomes major source of interest--dev. tasks=learning independence, power & control
Phallic Stage: Source of sexual gratification comes from genitals--conflict centers on unconscious incestuous desires--Oedipus complex & Electra complex
Infancy: Trust vs Mistrust -- significant others important
Early Childhood: Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt -- struggle b/w sense of self-reliance & self-doubt
Preschool: Initiative vs. Guilt -- Basic task is to achieve a sense of comptence and initiative
![Page 19: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Freud & EriksonDrive EgoLatency Stage: Relatively quiet period -- sexual interest replaced by focus on socializationGenital Stage: Begins with puberty and lasts until senility -- movement towards freedom from parental influence and capacity to care for others -- sexual energy directed towards others, rather than self-love
School Age: Industry vs. Inferiority -- setting and attaining personal goals = basic taskAdolescence: Identity vs. Role Confusion -- transitional time, conflicts center on clarification of identityYoung Adulthood: Intimacy vs. Isolation -- developmental task is to form intimate relationships
![Page 20: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3 Phases of the Therapeutic Process
Initial Stage: Interpretation, analysis of resistance, analysis of transference
Working Through: Client becomes more free in thought and speech, gains insight into how past influences present.
Final Stage: Termination – Benefits of therapy discussed.
![Page 21: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Counselor’s Role in TreatmentCounselor assumes a “blank screen” approach
and attempts to foster a transference relationship so that the client can “work through” the developmental issue that is problematic. Goal is to foster self-awareness and to help clients’ engage in the process of uncovering unconscious material.
Therapy is typically intense and long-term!
![Page 22: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Therapeutic Goals
To make the unconscious conscious
To strengthen the ego so that behavior is based more on reality and less on instinctual cravings or irrational guilt
![Page 23: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Counseling Interventions
Free Association
Analysis of dreams
Analysis of transference
Analysis of resistance
Interpretation
![Page 24: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Client’s ExperienceClients must be willing to commit to an intensive, long-term therapy process
Successful analysis answers the client’s “why” questions regarding his or her life
![Page 25: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Supporting Research
Fisher & Greenberg (1977) examined 2,000 individual studies involving psychoanalysis.Freudian Theory has been subjected to more scientific appraisal than any other theory.Useful for clients who need to explore the role of early childhood events and the impact of these experiences .
![Page 26: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Limitations of Psychoanalysis
Appeals to the educated middle- to upper-class clients able to afford long-term treatment
True psychoanalysis can only be conducted by trained professionals ($$$)
Long-terms therapies are not as popular as newer brief therapy models
Requires client commitment of time, $$$, and effort
![Page 27: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Who uses which theory:Freud’s drive theory only = classical or traditional theorists
Systematic approach (combining 2,3, or 4 theories) = listening perspective which selects the best theory for a specific disorder.
Object relations seems to be a more user-friendly approach within the psychodynamic paradigm
![Page 28: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PSYCHOANALYTIC APPLICATIONS
Treatment of Hysteria
(Hypnosis)
Childhood Anxiety
Borderline Disorders
Narcissistic Disorders (due to problems with insufficient attention from parent early on)
Eating Disorders
![Page 29: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Current Trends & Issues
Treatment Manuals: Because of the long and intense nature of psychoanalysis, there has been a recent effort to create “how-to” manuals to make the treatment more popular and comprehensible.
Two person vs. one person: A shift from focus on the client to focus on how the patient and therapist influence each other. More empathic and interactive than traditional psychoanalysis.

Gender Issues
Tends to make sexist generalizations about women
Great emphasis on the child-mother relationships
Concern about same-sex or opposite sex therapists
![Page 31: PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY Foundations and Applications.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649d9f5503460f94a89f00/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Multicultural IssuesFreud’s work was vulnerable to social and cultural factors
Erikson (Psychosocial) was very devoted to cross cultural concerns and addressed them in his research
Modern psychoanalysts have made recent efforts to reach out to diverse populations and confront treatment issues (bilingualism, skin color, cultural animosity, etc.)
